Re: [zones-discuss] How to configure network for zone?

[Michael Barto]

You need to consider each zone to be an individual host with is own IP. Share means it uses the same NIC card to connect to the internet. The following is the RAW network output (ifconfig -a ) from the global zone (dione)  and comparing it with the same output for the local zone (dione-dev) to show you what is going on. Note the "zone" parameter in the output of the global zone, but it is missing in the local zone ouput: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifconfig: lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1     inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 lo0:1: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1     zone dione-prod     inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 lo0:2: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1     zone dione-dev     inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2     inet 172.166.11.202 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.166.11.255     ether 0:3:ba:14:c0:df eri0:1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2     zone dione-prod     inet 172.166.11.205 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.166.11.255 eri0:2: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2     zone dione-dev     inet 172.166.11.206 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.166.11.255 eri0:3: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2     inet 172.166.11.208 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255 This is the ouput from the local zone (dione-dev) ifconfig: lo0:2: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1     inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 eri0:2: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2     inet 172.166.11.206 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.166.11.255 Hopefully this will make things clearer to you.

But zone1 can't boot, it is said some error about IP address. My system is s10u5_b02 X86. I want to use shared-IP mode to configure zone1, because I have only one NIC. Could you give me some hints to configure it?
